Nigeria’s Super Eagles have been drawn in Group B along with Guinea, Madagascar and Burundi at the African Cup of Nations, AFCON, tournament in Egypt in June.
At the draw held in Cairo, Egypt on Friday, hosts Egypt will face DR Congo, Uganda and Zimbabwe in Group A.
Defending champions Cameroon are in Group F with Ghana, Benin and Guinea-Bissau, BBC reports.
